Quietways TLRN Consultation Great Dover Street/Globe Street junction Response to consultation April 2015 Quietways TLRN Consultation Great Dover Street/Globe Street junction Response to consultation April 2015 Quietways Q1 | Great Dover Street and Globe Street TLRN Junction 2 Executive Summary Between 15 December 2014 and 9 February 2015, Transport for London (TfL) consulted on proposals for the junction of Great Dover Street and Globe Street. We received 45 responses to the consultation, of which 80% supported or partially supported our proposals. Having considered responses to consultation, we intend to proceed with the scheme. However, we have made some changes to the design on Globe Street following discussion with the London Borough of Southwark, which is delivering the Quietway along the remainder of Globe Street. Apart from the changes on Globe Street, the rest of the TfL scheme will be delivered in line with the plans we consulted on. Construction is planned to begin in early May 2015 and is expected to take about six weeks. We will co-ordinate our works with those currently being undertaken at the junction by the London Borough of Southwark. We will also write to local residents and businesses with details of the planned works. This document explains the processes, responses and outcomes of this consultation, as well as TfL’s responses to issues commonly raised.

By 2022, £913m will be invested in cycling and we envisage over £123m to be allocated to this programme. The Quietways will deliver a pan-London network of high quality, well-signed cycle routes predominately using back streets with little traffic. They are designed to overcome barriers to cycling, targeting less confident cyclists and those who prefer a more relaxed journey. Quietways will complement other cycling initiatives, such as the Central London Cycling Grid and Cycle Superhighways. Transport for London is working in partnership with the London boroughs and managing authorities to deliver seven Quietways routes by late spring 2016. The seven pilot routes, boroughs and partners, are: Q1 Waterloo to Greenwich (LB Lambeth, LB Southwark, LB Lewisham, LB Greenwich) Q2 Bloomsbury to Walthamstow (phase 1 - Bloomsbury to Mare Street) (LB Camden, LB Islington, LB Hackney, LB Waltham Forest, Lea Valley Regional Park) Regents Park to Gladstone Park (Dollis Hill) (City of Westminster, LB Camden, LB Brent) Elephant & Castle to Crystal Palace (LB Lambeth, LB Southwark) Aldgate to Hainault (phase 1 – Mile End to Barkingside) (LB Tower Hamlets, LB Hackney, LB Newham, LB Redbridge, and the London Legacy Development Corporation) Waterloo to Croydon (via Clapham Common) (LB Lambeth, LB Wandsworth, LB Croydon) Clapham Common to Wimbledon (LB Lambeth, LB Wandsworth, LB Merton) Design on the first two pilot routes is well underway. It is expected that they will be delivered by summer 2015. The remaining five routes are expected to be delivered by late spring 2016. 1.2 About this report – Great Dover Street to Globe Street There are junctions on the Transport for London Road Network (TLRN) along the pilot routes and for these it is the responsibility of TfL to consult with stakeholders and the public. Modifications at these junctions range from providing Advanced Stop Lines (ASLs) and carriageway markings to more complex reworkings of the junction layout. The Great Dover Street and Globe Street junction is on the proposed Waterloo to Greenwich Quietway. The London boroughs will consult locally on their respective sections of the route. Quietways Q1 | Great Dover Street and Globe Street TLRN Junction 5 2 Introduction 2.1 Purpose of the Scheme As part of the Quietways programme, TfL is developing proposals to enhance facilities for cyclists and pedestrians. During December to early February 2015 we invited the public and key stakeholders to comment on its proposals for the TLRN junction of Great Dover Street and Globe Street. 2.2 Descriptions of the proposals 1. Enlarged and reshaped traffic islands to ease access for cyclists turning right from Great Dover Street into Pilgrimage Street and Globe Street 2. Removal of the cycle lead-in lane* on Pilgrimage Street. This will reduce conflict between vehicles and cyclists approaching the Advanced Stop Line (ASL), because vehicles turn left but most cyclists travel straight ahead (not shown on the plan) 3. Pedestrian crossing widths at the junction widened to 3.2 metres to improve pedestrian facilities, particularly for those with impaired mobility 4. ASLs enlarged to five metres and relocated closer to signals, to provide more space for cyclists to wait at a red traffic signal ahead of other traffic and maximise green signal time 5. Provision of additional space for cycle parking on enlarged footway buildouts * This will be allowed in the revised Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions (2015) to be published in March 2015. NOTE: The numbers against the descriptions of the proposals relate to the details on the junction design. 2.3 Location maps For a larger version of this junction plan and in context to the whole route see page 19. Quietways Q1 | Great Dover Street and Globe Street TLRN Junction 6 3 The consultation The consultation ran from 15 December 2014 to 9 February 2015. It was designed to enable TfL to understand local opinion about the proposed junction changes. The potential outcomes of the consultation are: We decide the consultation raises no issues that should prevent us from proceeding with the scheme as originally planned. We modify the scheme in response to issues raised in consultation. We abandon the scheme as a result of issues raised in the consultation. The objectives of the consultation were: To give stakeholders and the public easily-understandable information about the proposals and allow them to respond To understand the level of support or opposition for the change To understand any issues that might affect the proposal of which we were not previously aware To understand concerns and objections To allow respondents to make suggestions 3.1 Who we consulted The public consultation intended to seek the views of people living close to the junction. We also consulted stakeholders including the affected councils, traffic police, London TravelWatch, Members of Parliament, Assembly Members, road user and local interest groups. A list of the stakeholders consulted is shown in Appendix D. A summary of the stakeholder groups that responded is in Section 5. Quietways Q1 | Great Dover Street and Globe Street TLRN Junction 7 3.2 Consultation material, distribution and publicity The consultation material was available at tfl.gov.uk/great-dover-street, via door drop, and email. Materials included an overview letter, along with a detailed drawing of the junction showing the proposals. We invited people to respond via an online survey on the TfL website, by letter, telephone and email to [email protected] We promoted the consultation through multiple channels: Email: We emailed 539 stakeholder groups. A list of these stakeholders is shown in Appendix D of this report and a copy of the email is available in Appendix E. Letter: We distributed a consultation letter and junction plan to 2,390 residents and businesses within a 400 metre radius of the junction. A copy of the letter is shown in Appendix B and the door drop area is shown in Appendix C. The consultation asked one question; Do you support the proposed changes to the Quietway TLRN junction at Great Dover Street and Globe Street? The options to choose to reply from were Yes Partially Not sure No No opinion The results for the above question are on page 9 for the public, and page 13 for stakeholders. Quietways Q1 | Great Dover Street and Globe Street TLRN Junction 8 4 Overview of consultation responses 4.1 Number/type of responses received The consultation received 45* responses in total; seven emails were received and 38 online respondents. A breakdown of the number of responses received by respondent type can be seen in Table 1 below. Table 1: Consultation responses by respondent type Stakeholder Groups (7) 16% Public (38) 84% Table 2: Answers received to question – Do you support the proposed scheme?

The issues most commonly raised are outlined below. a) General positive comments: 14 respondents (31%) welcomed the junction improvements, comments included: These proposals look very sensible, if minor alterations The changes are good and as a cyclist I support the Quietways The changes should help cyclists crossing and also allow room for pedestrians with prams I'd just like to say that I am in every way happy with the proposal and hope it goes ahead This cycle link between Greenwich and Waterloo is really needed because the road network is a maze and really intimidating for cyclists Regularly cycle from New Cross to central London via Waterloo using these back roads - any improvements would be most welcomed Wonderful plan These changes will help to enhance the cycling experience through Southwark London TravelWatch: Said this is fine. The proposal would be improved if the median strip were to be permeable to pedestrians or the pavement simply widened. Southwark Living Streets: Supports proposal. John Lewis Partnership: Said they fully support schemes that help to make cycling in London safer. Cyclist Touring Club (CTC) London: Said that changes, at this junction, appear to be beneficial to cyclists. Sustrans: Generally supportive of enhancing the space for cyclist improvements. This includes the removal of the lead-in lane to discourage cyclists from being too far to the left. This should reduce the likelihood of left hooks by vehicles. b) Advance Stop Line (ASL): 4 respondents (9%) expressed concern that ASLs did not work well without cyclists signal lights, and were pointless without being enforced as vehicles ignored them. One respondent requested segregated feeder lanes and another for them to be extended further along Great Dover Street. Sustrans: Said that they were supportive of wider pedestrian crossings and wider ASLs. Quietways Q1 | Great Dover Street and Globe Street TLRN Junction 11 c) Signage: 4 respondents (9%) were concerned about the lack of cycle specific signage at the junction of Great Dover Street and Pilgrimage Street; they also requested that the central reservation was removed and add right turn arrows instead. Sustrans: The existing traffic island gaps are too narrow to cater for the expected levels of cyclists on the Quietway. However the proposals for redesigned traffic islands show only a slightly wider access for cyclists. Without dimensions it is difficult to tell, but would recommend gaps in the traffic islands of at least 1.5m. d) Safety concerns: 4 respondents (9%) were mixed about safety concerns at the junction. One resident on Cole Street observed cyclists were too fast, whereas on Pilgrimage Street one resident said they had never experienced any problems and therefore the changes were not required. e) Cost issues: 4 respondents (9%) suggested that there was little design improvement, with the junction provisions being fairly good already, and therefore changes would be a waste of money. Suggestions re Globe Street cycle provision: One respondent suggested that the central island is relocated next to the footway and the bi-directional cycle track separated by white lines and bollards. London TravelWatch: requested that the central island is accessible to pedestrians Sustrans: Whilst we are supportive of the provision of cycle parking along the Quietway route, other locations in the vicinity should be explored. The proposed position of the cycle parking is bizarre and causes a pinch point for cyclists. Globe Street is fairly quiet and as a result isn’t a particularly secure location for cycle parking. Cycle parking on the wide footway of Great Dover Street would be preferable. Comments aimed at Southwark Council One local resident responded that they had reviewed Southwark's plans for Tabard Street: this street is very quiet (their flat overlooks it) and is basically only used for parking. They observed that humps might deter cyclists from using this route, so they should not be put in. Humps were to be avoided and instead slalom courses (trees and parking varying from side to side), oneways and streets which are closed off for cars, but open for cyclists (and where the cycle route direction has priority), should be used. Quietways Q1 | Great Dover Street and Globe Street TLRN Junction 12 5.2 Stakeholder responses Of the 45 respondents who replied to the consultation, 36 (80% of the total) provided There were seven stakeholder responses, a summary of which follows below. Table 5: Answers received to question – Do you support the proposed scheme? Not Answered (2) 29% Yes (3) 43% No (0) 0% Partially (2) 28% 5.3 Summary of stakeholder responses Stakeholder group Summary of response Catford Police Traffic Garage Cyclist Touring Club (CTC) London The respondent does not have any issues with this junction. Central London Quietways improved cycle routes in the form of a Central London Grid of Quietways would be beneficial. The Quietways appear to be mainly existing LCN and LCN+ routes. It would be clearer if new routes were marked differently, and existing sections to be upgraded identified. Great Dover Street junction with Globe Street, the changes appear to be beneficial to cyclists. John Lewis Partnership Said that the John Lewis Partnership fully supports schemes that help to make cycling in London safer. As part of the proposal, care must be taken to ensure that kerbside loading is accommodated as practically and as safely as possible, and without compromise to other road users. The proposals have very little impact on the London Fire London Fire and Brigade. However, the respondent welcomes any Emergency Planning proposal to improve road safety and during the Authority construction phase, would like to ensure continued liaison with managers at local fire stations to enable pre planning to minimise any possible disruption to appliances attending incidents. Quietways Q1 | Great Dover Street and Globe Street TLRN Junction 13 London TravelWatch Southwark Living Streets Sustrans Said this is fine. The proposal would be improved if the median strip were to be permeable to pedestrians or the pavement simply widened. Supports proposal. Generally supportive of enhancing the space for cyclist improvements. This includes the removal of the lead-in lane to discourage cyclists from being too far to the left. This should reduce the likelihood of left hooks by vehicles. Supportive of wider pedestrian crossings and wider ASLs. Whilst we are supportive of the provision of cycle parking along the Quietway route, other locations in the vicinity should be explored. The proposed position of the cycle parking is bizarre and causes a pinch point for cyclists. Globe Street is fairly quiet and as a result isn’t a particularly secure location for cycle parking. Cycle parking on the wide footway of Great Dover Street would be preferable. The existing traffic island gaps are too narrow to cater for the expected levels of cyclists on the Quietway. However the proposals for redesigned traffic islands show only a slightly wider access for cyclists. Without dimensions it is difficult to tell, but would recommend gaps in the traffic islands of at least 1.5m. Finally, there is no mention of signal timings which should be improved to reduce the wait for cyclists. Quietways Q1 | Great Dover Street and Globe Street TLRN Junction 14 6 Conclusion Overall, 80% of consultation respondents said they supported or partially supported TfL’s proposals for the Great Dover Street and Globe Street junction. Having considered responses to consultation, we intend to proceed with the scheme. However, following further discussion with the London Borough of Southwark – the Highway Authority responsible for Globe Street – we have made changes to the planned design here. The central low-level planted island (shown in point 5 of the TfL consultation drawing) will now be extended further towards Cole Street, but will stop before the vehicular exit from the rear of Shere House. Therefore the new footway and cycle parking on the north-west side of Globe Street will not be built. These changes will better-complement the Council’s plans for the Quietway on Globe Street. Apart from the changes on Globe Street, the rest of the TfL scheme will be delivered in line with the plans we consulted on. Construction is planned to begin in early May 2015 and is expected to take about six weeks. We will co-ordinate our works with those currently being undertaken at the junction by the London Borough of Southwark and will write to local residents and businesses with details of the planned works. Please see Appendix A for TfL’s Response to issues commonly raised in consultation. Quietways Q1 | Great Dover Street and Globe Street TLRN Junction 15 Appendix A – Response to issues raised a) Negative comments about Advanced Stop Lines (ASLs) The changes include increasing the length of the existing ASLs to five metres, which will increase the space available for cyclists. TfL and the Metropolitan Police continue to encourage considerate and compliant behaviour by all road users through a number of education and enforcement campaigns. We consider that ASL feeder lanes on Great Dover Street are appropriate for the road conditions and expected cycle usage. Further extension would be outside the scope of this scheme, which is primarily intended to improve conditions for cyclists on the Quietway alignment. b) Concern of the lack of signage for cyclists The consultation drawing did not indicate provision of signing for cyclists. This is being undertaken as a separate exercise on the whole length of the Quietway. The existing islands forming the central reservation offer cyclists physical protection from passing vehicles and also prevent vehicles from making prohibited manoeuvres. They are being retained, but will be enlarged and reshaped to ease right turn manoeuvres for cyclists. c) Safety and cost concerns The latest 36 months collision data indicates that there has been one reported collision at the junction resulting in personal injury. The collision did not involve a cyclist. We consider that the planned scheme provides an appropriate and proportionate improvement in facilities for cyclists and pedestrians at the junction. It has been designed to assist and accommodate the anticipated increase in cycling associated with this Quietway. d) Globe Street As outlined in Section 5, we have made changes to the design set out for consultation in order to better-complement the London Borough of Southwark’s plans for the Quietway on Globe Street. Quietways Q1 | Great Dover Street and Globe Street TLRN Junction 16 Appendix B – Copy of the consultation letter and map Consultation Team Transport for London 11th Floor, Zone G8, Palestra 197 Blackfriars Road London SE1 8NJ [email protected] 15 December 2014 Dear Resident, Have your say – proposed changes to the Great Dover Street junction with Globe Street As part of the Quietways programme, Transport for London (TfL) is developing proposals to enhance facilities for cyclists and pedestrians without adversely affecting other road users. We would like to know your views on the proposed changes to the junction at Great Dover Street and Globe Street. The Quietways programme will deliver a pan-London network of high quality, well signed cycle routes predominately using back streets with little traffic. They are designed to overcome barriers to cycling, targeting less confident cyclists and those who prefer a more relaxed journey. Quietways will complement other cycling initiatives, such as the Central London Cycling Grid and Cycle Superhighways. The Great Dover Street and Globe Street junction is on the proposed Waterloo to Greenwich Quietway. The London boroughs will consult locally on their respective section of the route. We are committed to make it easier and safer to cycle in London, and the proposals for this junction include: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Enlarged and reshaped traffic islands to ease access for cyclists turning right from Great Dover Street into Pilgrimage Street and Globe Street Removal of the cycle lead-in lane* on Pilgrimage Street. This will reduce conflict between vehicles and cyclists approaching the Advanced Stop Line (ASL), because vehicles turn left but most cyclists travel straight ahead (not shown on the plan) Pedestrian crossing widths at the junction widened to 3.2 metres to improve pedestrian facilities particularly for the mobility impaired ASL’s enlarged to five metres and relocated closer to signals, to provide more space for cyclists to wait at a red traffic signal ahead of other traffic and maximise green signal time Provision of additional space for cycle parking on enlarged footway build-outs * This will be allowed in the revised Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions (2015) to be published in March 2015. Quietways Q1 | Great Dover Street and Globe Street TLRN Junction 17 The enclosed consultation junction plan shows the current proposals. A detailed design process will follow this consultation, and as a result the works may change. The proposed modified junction reflects the emerging improvements in cycling infrastructure design standards including to: Improve safety for cyclists Increase the number of cyclists and cycle journeys Reduce journey times for cyclists Use some innovative design features recognised as best practice Reduce traffic speeds Improve the environment for local residents and businesses Not to disbenefit other road users How to comment on the proposals Website For further information or to let us know your views please visit our website tfl.gov.uk/great-dover-street Email Send to [email protected] When responding by email please add ‘Quietways – Great Dover Street’ in the subject line.

Dear Stakeholder, I am writing to let you know that Transport for London (TfL) has launched three consultations proposing changes to junctions on the Transport for London Road Network (TLRN). These junctions are on the first two pilot routes of the Quietways (tfl.gov.uk/cycle-quietways) and we would like to know what you think about the proposals. The Quietways will deliver a pan-London network of high quality, well signed cycle routes predominately using back streets with little traffic. They are designed to overcome barriers to cycling, targeting less confident cyclists and those who prefer a more relaxed journey. Quietways will complement other cycling initiatives, such as the Central London Cycling Grid and Cycle Superhighways. The three junctions under consultation are: Stamford Street and Cornwall Road – on the Waterloo to Greenwich Quietway Great Dover Street and Globe Street – on the Waterloo to Greenwich Quietway City Road / Colebrooke Row and Goswell Road / Owen Street – on the Bloomsbury to Walthamstow Quietway The proposed modified junctions reflect the emerging improvements in cycling infrastructure design standards including to: Improve safety for cyclists Increase the number of cyclists and cycle journeys Reduce journey times for cyclists Use some innovative design features recognised as best practice Reduce traffic speeds Improve the environment for local residents and businesses Not to disbenefit other road users We are consulting on the introduction of the following measures and safety features, which are similar to those likely to be proposed for further Quietways junctions on the TLRN: Increased pedestrian crossing widths New Advanced Stop Lines (ASL) Increased ASL space at some junctions New Pedestrian Countdown Indicators informing pedestrians how long they have to cross the road. These are being installed as part of TfL’s programme to improve pedestrian convenience The three consultations that have been launched today are the first along the initial two pilot routes. As the next five pilot routes are announced, we will consult on more Quietways junctions on the TLRN. The London boroughs will consult locally on their respective section of the route.

To learn more about the first seven pilot routes and the contract award please visit tfl.gov.uk/cycle-quietways. The Quietways form a key part of the Mayor’s Vision for Cycling; a 10 year plan to deliver cycling improvements across the Capital. By 2022, £913m will be invested in cycling and we envisage over £123m to be allocated to the Quietways programme. We hope this is useful and look forward to your response to the consultations. We will keep you informed throughout the programme.
